Gold price dips at the start of the week

After the large move in gold over the past 5 weeks the gold price seems to be taking a breather. We did get that ‘pop’ higher on Friday afternoon but it didn’t stick and gold has since fallen back to around the $1760 level today.

Longer term we can see just how quickly we’ve risen over the past few weeks and gold is now up some 13% on the year. The average yearly rise for gold over the past 11 years has been 17%. A similar rise for gold this year would put gold around the $1830 by the end of the year.

In terms of € gold the price made new intra-day all time highs on Friday and continues to hover right around those levels today.

€ gold has matched $ gold in its rise so far in 2012 gaining some 13%. A 17% rise would put the € gold price around €1412 by the end of the year.

£ gold has ‘only’ put on 8% so far this year, some 5% less than € and $ gold. However, we expect this to change as the end of the year approaches and the BoE undertake more money printing sometime around November/December.

A 17% rise in gold for 2012 would put it around the £1180 level by the end of the year.
